We've been watching "Kronk's New Groove" (2005; Tracey Ullman, Eartha Kitt, David Spade, John Goodman) on DVD over the past few days. A good sequel to the original. Can you believe that January is already over!? Crazy. Mrs. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Coretta Scott King) passed away yesterday in Mexico.

I started playing the online roleplay game, Oil Strike. It looks to be pretty fun, but since I've only just started, I haven't got the hang of it yet.

As you may remember, I'm running the BOINC distributed computing client at home, and I've finally reached a milestone of sorts - I've finally completed a Climateprediction.net workout (WU)! One of the "sulphur_cycle 4.19" WU's was completed this morning. It only took 1185 hours, 28 minutes, 43 seconds of CPU time! I started this particular WU back in November 2005, and it took a little over 60 days, instead of the 45-50 days I predicted in my Nov. 29th post. This happened because I ended up putting BOINC on a schedule, for only 22 hours per day (instead of 24), so that my RAID array synchronization could run in the wee hours unhindered. 60 straight days of computing on one file - and who says computers are fast?!!
